Gastroenterology

A gastroenterologist is a specialist in diagnosis and treatment of conditions involving the digestive/gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These doctors are experts on how food moves through the digestive system and is chemically broken down, with nutrients being absorbed and waste excreted. You might see this kind of doctor if you are experiencing any number of stomach issues, some of which might be severe diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, ulcers, acid reflux, Crohn's disease and more.

Internal Medicine

An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult population—both acute and chronic.
These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions. They also work to help a patient maintain optimal health in order to prevent the onset of disease.
In addition to treating the common cold and flu, internists also treat chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Paul A Akerman
- Posted on July 12th, 2017

went to Dr. Akerman for at least 4 years and basically learned little from him about my disease, got what little info I could from his NP. Very cold bedside manner ended up leaving the practice because I was so dissatisfied, never felt like he made any improvement to my condition.

What happened to this man? He used to be such a competent physician, but in the past five years, I feel like he's become a ghost. He practice is completely de-humanized. If you call, you can NEVER talk to a real person...you must leave a message and then wait several days for a return call (and if you miss it, you're done.) His PA, Mary, needs to work on her bedside manner. More and more, you talk only to her and not to the doctor. I'm not at all happy with this practice anymore.

He was polite and caring. He was very patient in explaining my disease. He called to follow up on my care and wanted me to c ome back with in 2 weeks to assess my discomfort. He did not order loads of unnecessary test. I would not go to anyone else.
